The distributed nature of SOLAS allows for cross-organizational localisation. Tasks can be automated by components on behalf of the user, while also allowing them to integrate fully featured applications as components.

Data is shared between the components using XLIFF (the XML Localization Interchange File Format).

Translation eXchange — community translation platform

Organisations that need content translation services may benefit from engaging with their active membership base.

The Translation eXchange is a web application to allow for this exchange to take place.

Download Translation eXchange

A prototype version of the platform is available for download. It may be deployed to your own local machine or server.

This is a server-based application (it is not intended to be installed on your laptop or PC, except perhaps for testing purposes).
